First of all, the only tax cuts that actually stimulate the economy are for the middle class and poor because that increases consumer spending. corporations and rich people already have record profits.Cutting taxation is one method to stimulate the economy by allowing more disposable income to increase demand and spending. You have to keep an eye on inflation too. When a government does this, they're looking for the uptick in the economy to create a larger tax precept than what was given away in the tax cut.
So to answer your question, "What kind of moron would actually think tax cuts would pay for themselves?", the answer is governments, economists, and the educated peasants in society.
But one thing is given, America is gonna go bust one day.
Second of all, the issue isn’t that these wouldn’t increase revenue at all, it’s that it would be so minuscule, it wouldn’t even come close to actually paying for the cut. You do get that basic logic right?
